Jesus Culture Sacramento Message of the Week

Danny Silk, President and Co-Founder of Loving on Purpose, shared with our church family about why we pray for revival. Danny reminds us that revival is supposed to continually move us in the direction of Christ. The end goal is not the encounter, but to look, act, talk, and be more like Jesus.

Tim Hall, one of Australia’s leading evangelists, joins our Jesus Culture Sacramento family to remind us that it’s time for a move of God with the reviving works of power. The divine power of God is alive inside of us, to see and move in miracles, and miracles requires us to respond in action in order to receive and walk them out.

If we are going to effectively navigate the worries of life and actually bear fruit, we must learn to come to Him and cast our cares on Him. Pastor Banning Liebscher continues his message on the importance of learning to care about things, but not carry them to the point that our souls are wearied and tired by them. God’s will for our life is that we would live from a place of rest by exchanging the weight of life’s burdens, for the peace that Jesus offers us.

We live in one of the most unique times in all of history, because of the amount of information that we consume daily. The news articles, reports, and details regarding the lives of people that we do not know become a pipeline to our hearts, and unfortunately burden us with the worries of life- grief, tragedy, trauma, etc. Pastor Banning Liebscher reminds us that as believers, we are called to bear fruit in every area of our lives, and we are in charge of what we allow to come into our hearts. What are you choosing to watch, read, listen to, and discuss, and what type of fruit is it bearing in your life?

Neil Smith, International Director of Planetshakers, reminds us that God’s plan for the earth is the church. In Matthew 5:14, Jesus tells us that we are the light of the world. We will win cities and nations to Jesus by letting out light shine wherever God has placed or positioned us.

We need to be unwilling to let go of what we are praying for in intercession. Pastor Banning teaches us that our experiences do not determine the will of God. We are called to pray bold, confident prayers because we know the word of God, and the will of God.

God is constantly inviting us into a life beyond our own ability and effort. Pastor Becky Johnson takes us to the story of God calling Moses, and calls us to be a people that act out of a place of knowing who we are in God, who He is, and who He has called us to, despite our weakness. God is with us when He calls us, and He will be our strength.

Prayer is a core part of our walk with God, and intercession is a form of prayer that God desires for us to grow in. Intercession is an invitation to join Jesus in what He is already doing. Pastor Banning Liebscher teaches us about our call to be intercessors, and how to respond.

The fire of God not only dwells among us, but within us. Pastor Banning Liebscher takes us through the Old and New Testament and teaches us about the fire of God. The Church of Jesus Christ was birthed in the fire of God, and will be sustained, led, purified, and empowered by His fire. It is the fire of God that we must long for.

Peacemakers and peacekeepers are two very different types of people. Danny Silk, President and Co-Founder of Loving on Purpose, teaches us that we are called to be peacemakers. Peacemakers are those that are willing to go into battle and courageously fight to establish peace through truth. In contrast, peacekeepers are motivated by fear and self preservation. True peace is really only accomplished through battle.
